is it getting old or could it be "adult adhd" EDITED: we don't have pc zone here the states i do remember pc mahazine or was it pc world and coomputer gaming world along with pcgamer
(as a fellow unshorn individual) I was hoping for a before/after view of the trimmed beard! But thank the gods this wasn't an ad for Manscaped's other product... Not sure if I could fully deal with that ad... lol
Thanks for the heads up - my ancient ASUS laptop gave up the ghost a month back and so now when I come to replace it I will know not to touch an ASUS with a bargepole. That's what I call community service Jingles so thanks once again. I already knew not to touch any Apple product ever but the news about ASUS is new. That's why it's called news I suppose!
@@TomGS I checked these things and still willingly bought Asus over Lenovo or Dell. Asus service is crap compared to those two which are pretty good in that, but I found the Asus product itself has better quality for the same price, so I took the risk. it worked out for me, and I say it is up to preference.
@nemlas85 i have been using my Lenovo Legion for about 4 years now. Absolutely rock solid. I even use it for simracing, with an hdmi to a 32-inch tv. The only game i had issues running, so far, is starfield. And that's in the big cities.
I once made a cup of tea. A couple of hours later I opened the fridge and wondered why the kettle was sitting on the fridge shelf. Been there Jingles :)
On ASUS thing, my experience is quite positive. This is during the Pandemic 2021. My laptop was bought in Viet Nam and brought to France as I moved. Suddenly Ithe screen went completely dark. I have to contact ASUS France, send it to a service centre in the Netherlands with my vietnamese receipt, and get it back, no fuss, two weeks later., screen replaced One thing to note is that I actually had opened the screen to see what is the issue, and ASUS do not void guaranty if you open your laptop to attempt to fix your issue by your self (I've read it somewhere on ASUS website). Of course, I could be very much in the minority here.
Hey Paul, don't worry about the "CRS" (Can't Remember Shit). Years ago in my late 20's I was in the US Army and working at the Ranger Dept. The instructors had to be in by 0330 during the class on occasion and so I would get up around 0200 to get ready and do the 17 mile drive out in the boonies. Shit, showered and shaved, fully dressed I am walking around the house looking for my truck keys. 10 or so minutes go by and I cannot find my keys which are normally dropped in my patrol cap. I have my smokes and lighter in my right hand. The wife wakes ups after hearing me wandering around and asks what I was doing. I explain I can't find my truck keys. She says "you have your cigarettes and lighter?" and I say "yeah right here" as I take the smokes and lighter from right hand with my left. Lo and Behold, my keys were under the smokes. Yeah, CRS is a thing and it can hit instantly.
When your health situation is no longer first point in our weekly mingling (and in fact is not mentioned at all), I take that as assurance that you are feeling fine Jingles. And I am very happy that you do. Have a good week, our mighty gnome! :)
Its one of these things where I am glad I live in Germany. 1. Clicking Accept or Putting a Checkmark in a Box is not enough to Form a Viable Contract. As such this kind of EULA is useless in Germany. Not to mention that from the Start. EULAs cannot Override the Law. As such even if they are Correctly Agreed upon by being Signed after going through the Contents with a Representative. If the Contents are in Violation of the Law. They are Automaticly Void. Albeit I still by Default will Boycot Games which Require this Sort of Permissions regardless for which Purpose. 2. Germany has a Proper Law on Refunds. As such I never had any Problems with Refunds, Repairs and Replacements on Asus or any other Company for that Purpose. Which is not Surprising. Because if You Pull this kind of Stunt You usually end up in Court Paying both Sides Legal Cost as well as Possibly additional Fines etc etc. So in Germany any Bigger Company usually wont even try doing this as they know beforehand that it just ends up being Expensive for them.
Getting a decision like this should send shockwaves into the gaming communities - I'd argue that if anyone was paying attention, you'd see a massive drop in online gaming. I do everything on my laptop - occasional game, budget, development... and somehow I've authorized a gaming company to peruse content? To what extent?
Same under UK law as we haven't formed a separate one for it. Basically if it takes more than one page and uses legalese they're screwed as it's unenforceable, especially if it refers to external documents. Only in the so called "Land of the Free" can they get away with this sort of shit.
Jingles, you're absolutely right, you're absent mindedness is a quality in its own right. It reminds me of how equally crap I am, so please keep on the good work, since it doesn't make me feel I'm the only old geezer with attention span issues. I bet there are millions more who identify similarly. Cheers old greybeard!
Go to kitchen for lunch; go back to bedroom for water-glass, return to kitchen, make lunch; go to bedroom with lunch; go back to kitchen for glass of water; return to bedroom. sigh. This happens several times a week. As my wise, old, grandfather said, "It's not the getting old, it's the falling apart."
@@brianj.841 Yup, been there, done that... approaching 60 is very confrontational when your inner self is convinced it is still 21 but you notice your attention span slowly has degraded to that of a 9 year old. 😁
I had one of those autopilot moments a few months ago. I was still working 12s, and had to be at work real early, so I'd get up around 3:30. For some reason, I randomly woke up at midnight, and then proceeded to go about my morning routine, getting dressed and all that. It was a solid 5 minutes before it hit me like, "What in the hell am I doing?"
You know Jingles this world would be a much more crappy place if you werent in it. I was diagnosed with brain cancer at 23 needless to say Im 60 and yes they were wrong. Keep your sails to the wind and know theres peeps that love your sense of humor and are glad you are still throwin feces at those who deserve it. Blessings from Texas🤠
Excellent WoWs video in the background by the way. Yes - postboxes. I once posted the envelope full of business cheques into the postbox that I was supposed to post into the bank's letterbox just down the road, and didn't realise it until I got to the bank's letterbox and realised I had the letter I was supposed to post still in my hand. Friday night it was, and the post office not open of course, so far fewer beers than planned so I could be up and at the post office for when it opened the next day. Yes that was about 30 years ago too.
"A beard so magnificent it could deflect a 16" armor piercing shell..." Thanks, Jingles, best beard hedger commercial I've ever seen 😂. Yesterday was horrible, so I only today came to watch this masterpiece - you made my day.
When you walk into a room, forget what you were doing so you retrace your steps. Get distracted on the way back and then you need to pee so all hell breaks loose
Even 30 year old Jingles forgot to equip the grenades. At least you can be reasonably sure it's not a cognitive issue. It's just the way you're built, and we love you for it. Shitting on you for forgetting or missing obvious things is just how we say we love you. It's entertaining to watch you play on self induced hard mode. And having ADHD, I identify with your struggles. It's the same with Markiplier, his ADHD sometimes make him effectively blind, and seeing him solve puzzles in a convoluted and needlessly difficult way the devs never meant, is just as adorable and fun. So you're in good company.
16:39 common affliction. we used to employ a paper device referred to as a wheelbook: a flip-open memorandum book that fit in your back pocket of your dungarees. write it down. check it later--my marine corps CO father called it his "paper brains". invaluable. surprised the brit navy survived without them. of course, i hail from an ancient USN whose CPOs wore dungarees, and most of them were WW2 vets.
Jingles it is not getting old that does it , it is just you. I am older by far and I don't do half the things you do. But you are right we would not have you any other way. Another thing we have not had any of the "Rita moments" in a good while. keep smile and take care
The warranty thing is not rocketing science, they want you to buy new, keeping and fixing one does not make them new sales, which is how the execs get bonuses, sales figures. Two fixing things actually costs them. If you buy new nothing but profit. This is why I am glad to live in Australia with some of the best consumer protection laws on the planet.
Good to know that my Asus laptop I bought 5 years ago is not just getting crappy, but can also count on absolutely zero customer support. If I wasn't broke after 6 years of student debt I'd have bought a new PC already.
😂 I thought for a second you were gonna try to trim Akizuki's fur! Thank you for starting my week off right with me laughing! Asus used to be a good company, wonder which CEO got their dander up when they saw how much they were spending for good customer service! 😂
I always buy my compt4ers from a good local computer shop. I know if I have a problem, they will fix it. Heck, back in the day, I'd build my own computer. But, that is not as cost effective as it used to be. And it was great seeing you and Akizuki at the beginning of the video. Need to see more of that cat :)
they wanted to replace the screen coz apparently the top case and screen are a single part, so to 'fix' the miniscule ding in the plastic edge they need to replace the entire top casing which includes the non-dismountable screen. There were multiple time sensitive automated emails which they told them to ignore, but not before inflicting infuriating frustration. They eventually managed to replace the controller stick module thingy. What an utter rigmarole.
I'm pretty sure the local law supercedes EULAs. You can sign you're a paper saying you're now a company slave, it would only void the contract. That precedent is thankfully only affected locally.
I have my own ASUS horror story! RMA'd a MB back to them; under warranty, basically got same song and dance! Said the MB was damaged by customer, me, and wanted to charge me 90$ US to fix! I eventually got my states attorney generals office involved with my warranty and receipts! After 3 months I finally got my MB back! I had moved forward and bought a Gigabyte MB in the interim; sold the returned MB on Ebay; fully disclosing that it was a fixed board! This consumer will NEVER own anything ASUS! This happened way back in 2017; so this practice is nothing new!
The post office, I remember when that was IT if you did not run a corporation and ran your own shipping. Many a GI would get a box with words like " Fragile ", " Do not crush ", " Keep dry ", And when that box got there it looked anything other than what the sender had in the minds eye how it would look like when it got there. but the face said more than 100,000 boxes ever could.
Carlin, George Carlin has done a lot on the effects of aging, on aging, about things " In some way attached to aging ", I highly recommend a night of listening to one of America's best funny men who was warning us THEN about the Here and Now, hope you do not suffer a hernia, LOL.
Asus has been around since 1989. I have purchased items from Asus in the 90s and 2000s and must say, I was always pleased with their products. Asus may have changed since then but back in the golden age of computers, I found their electronics to be of high quality, reliable and at a reasonable price.
I've been using assorted ASUS products for a long time with varied customer support. Ranging from phenomenal to abysmal. But it's always been resolved in my favor in the end. Most recently, towards the end of my current laptops extended warranty (ASUS A17 TUF from early 2020 it had an issue. Got my RMA ticket, sent it in. After a week I got a bill, which was a problem as this was supposed to under warranty. Some back and forth, it was covered, they fixed it and sent it back. Kind of. It wasn't my laptop. It was the same model, but lacking the stickers I never took off along with a few other things. It wasn't packaged in my box like it should have been. And last, it was missing the screw for the second M2 drive. I never received my box, nor a replacement box, and only got a "Sorry, we can't help you" on that. They did however send me a replacement screw for the M2 drive. Which was shipped priority mail, in a box a bit bigger than a shoe box, filled with air bags, sealed in 2, yes 2, static bags. For a 2 x 3mm screw. Just odd stuff. Will I buy ASUS in the future, I don't know. As tbh, the other options are not really any better imo as we have had issues with many of them.
I'll be 42 this year soon, and man do I feel you with the memory stuff. I, coincidentally, have just survived bowel cancer myself, and let me tell you it only gets worse memory wise. You need to look up something called "Chemo Brain". Because I believe you said you were still going to be getting treatments.
You started the video with an appearance by the Lady Akizuki. By definition, it's gonna be a good video. Please make another episode of "The Akizuki Diaries". I haven't had a Kitty near since Shere Khan Magnus crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Feb 12. I'm going through withdrawals and need a fix. Please give her and Hjusie treats and scritches for me, and please give Rita my best, too. 🐈🐈⬛👑✌️🖖
My only experience with ASUS returns was 6-7 years ago. It was a minor issue with the laptop fan. I sent it back, they fixed it and I just had to pay for shipping. Sad to hear that things have apparently gone to shit at ASUS since then.
I recently had a similar story happen with an Invicta watch I own. Bought it at a mall for 85 bucks. The winding pin came loose and the watch had to be opened back up to replace the small metal piece that holds it in. Repair bill? $235. I told them to keep the damn thing, ill just go to an outlet and buy their newest watch i liked for $100 dollars instead. After refusing their offers for a month, the finally cut the crap and I got the watch back for around $70. I liked it a lot so I was content at that point. But yah, repairing shit is less and less viable these days.
As someone who worked in mobile device repair, it's equal parts outrageous and understandable that the repair department (or, much more likely, an underpaid third party contractor) would latch onto any ding on the plastic housing and claim LCD module damage. Most manufacturers design the display assembly in a way that is obnoxious to repair, for example, on Google smartphones, if you want to replace a battery, you will probably need a spare display module because they're extremely fragile and you have to remove them to access the battery. What Asus did was, they all but welded the display to the front half of the outer case, meaning that if any part of the front case was "damaged", hey presto that's the display module, pay us 200 bucks. Valve doesn't even do that, and the displays on the Steam Deck are a pain to access. The one company other than Fairphone that makes the display module right, ironically, is Apple, at least before Touch ID (that's the main pain point for Apple device repair). They're sturdy so they don't die when you want to replace a battery, and there's no way a repair fraud shop could claim display damage based on a scratched case. Asus makes some really sweet hardware like that souped up Surface lookalike, but I'm sorry to say that until they change their practices, I'm building with a different manufacturer. I don't want to be held hostage during a warranty repair.
On my second asus ZenFone (9 currently) , asus mb and 3070 gpu in the pc and use an ancient asus laptop as a spare device not one issue with any of them so far. The zenfone 9 I am particularly happy with as the camera is really good and the battery lasts me nearly 2 days which is great as I don't often have Access to charging at work (With the community mods for the apk because on launch the software was tragic) had the m2 max pro before which served me for 5 years and still works good now that my mother took it over.
ASUS support is terrible for network equipment too. I had a bad mesh device after just 6 months. I had to sit on a call to document everything, then fill out ALL the information I'd just given me, then pay to SHIP THE DEVICE TO THEM. Then they didn't send the shipping label after MULTIPLE calls. Had to fill out a new RMA. Still don't have the replacement yet. The WIFI backplane is completely dead, and it won't hold a config if it turns off or has the ethernet cable backplane disconnected.
You're looking well squire. Much better than myself (though I'm some five years or so your junior) but in mitigation I am recovering from a minor heart attack two weeks ago.
You seriously need someone like me, Jingles.... ask Zoe yourself. Yes, the Zoe who Rita also knows. Zoe can varify how useful I am at remembering and reminding of things. Otherwise, you should have a little belly-bag on you, where ever you go. A few good old fashion writing tools (pens, pencils, maybe a sharpener and a little box to keep the sharpened things of the pencil), and a notepad, or block of sticky notes
Jingles asking what has the world come to? Basically thats what you get when shits not regulated. The worst warranty policy Ive seen in germany was the seller asking me to tell him whats wrong before sending it back and then taking it back to repair anyway.
I don't know how you make me feel better about myself, when I am quite certain that you are functioning at a higher level than me. Oh well I am at least older than you.
The last Asus device I had was a gaming laptop from around 6 years ago, think it had a 970m chip (before mobile GPUs were scrapped). Anyhoo, one Friday evening I shut down as usual but the next day the device refused to turn on. Being a time served techy I stripped it down to trace the fault & the APM chip had failed so all power was blocked to the main board. I just went into town & bought an Acer Nitro off the shelf & never bought Asus again as further investigation showed that this was a known manufacturing fault on the model I had & it should have been recalled long before the warranty expired. I still have that Nitro 5 & it continues to run although the 1050 is sorely dated, currently have a Nitro 17 with a 4060.
"Oh no, a big business that... doesn't care about me can see all my stuff!" "Hooray, big government that actively desires to fuck me up can see all my stuff. I wonder if there's anything I forgot to expose I should tell them."
Jesus Christ - someone tell the guy in this video that the "shift" key will take him into and out of zoom. The damn slow ass scroll in was fucking insane!!
Well i only got to level 29 today, however i know that situation of wanting to do or say something and your mind goes blank. Like that is nice, lets put that in the rubbish bin
Jingles, didn't that fiasco with magazine happen a few years ago when you were in London with Rita at comiccon or something like that? I remember you talking about that in one of the MWJ episodes
Thanks for doing the Manscaped sponsorship Jingles. For some reason I thought their products were for trimming "below the waterline", if you get my drift... 😳
In regards to the repairs etc, I can see why its so expensive and its rather simple. Companies do not make spare parts anymore. If a part needs replacing, an entire device or piece of hardware needs to be sacrificed, as likely the case with the graphics card you mentioned. It sucks for us but i can see why they sre doing it, not that I agree with it.
